I've once again undergone the ultimate procrastination.

I have one day (tommorow) to write a 10 page cited research paper for my history class on monday. (and yeh its friggn Easter too, so that narrows it down to like a half a day after family affairs)
I wanted to start today but choosing a topic is half the battle. Theres too many things to write about, most of them boring.

What are some cool things (within the last 300 years) to write about? I also will be presenting on it which is why I'm posting here. I'd like something with conspiracy, mass death or genocide, was thinkn the holocaust but its too cliche a topic.

Just something interesting, maybe a particular event you've studied, and briefly why its cool/interesting to you. Thanks!!
